Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! Time for our How To’s Day!

I am not sure what you guys were up to last week end but with the nice weather I actually started cleaning out my backyard.  I had no choice as my husband has one obsession: his pool.  We were already mid-April and he just could not stand to wait another week to get it started.

You will soon learn that I am not a gardener, nor a cook, my true passion is fabrics.  So I gladly helped out to get the backyard ready for summer as it would mean that I get the basement (AKA my quilt cave) all to myself again.  The patio is set as well as our gazebo. But I noticed last summer that we have new neighbours and they tend to be in the backyard quite a bit as well so I started to wonder… and that’s when I got the idea to pull out this DIY project that we have made a while back:  The Tabbed Curtains!

I haven’t quite decided on which mixology fabric to choose from: Honeycomb, woven, tonic or herringbone.  I might even go for a scented  fabric!   Perhaps the Lavender Vanilla fabric for the curtains with some Pine Balsam as pillows.  That would really make a nice cozy and private outdoors area.  So I know what I am preparing next week end in my quilt cave!

How about you? What would you make for your outdoor area?

Let us know and happy sewing!

It’s our Winsday!

This week we hosted our Jungly Collection Fat quarter giveaway on our Facebook Page. We wanted to know:

Do you consider yourself?

A crafter

A quilter

A sewer

Or, a hoarder

We love doing these mini surveys and this one was important to me.  Having just started at Camelot Fabrics, I wanted to get your feedback on this delicate subject.  I have always loved crafting and sewing but stumbled upon quilting over twelve years ago and hoarding has become a second nature.  My fellow co-workers weren’t sure if this was a general rule or just me!  Now, thanks to all of you that answered the survey, they know that I am not alone.

So thank you for playing along on our winsday.

And now, of course, the winner of our Jungly bundle is:

Linda Newman

Congratulations!

Linda, if you can please email us your mailing address to designstudio@camelotfabrics.com by April 27th, 2016.  We cannot wait to see what you create with the bundle.  Please send us a picture for our Fan Friday blog!

And a huge thank you to everyone who entered!!

Stay tuned for next week’s Winsday…

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! Time for our How To’s Day!

And why not make it a How Two To’s Day as I can’t seem to decide which project I like most.

Looking at our Equestrian Collection for the Moody Monday blog got me looking at the fun DIY projects we made with the fabrics.  There are two that I really like.  They are quick to make and perfect to give to someone who loves horses.

Let’s start with the Soft Shell Tablet Case.  This lovely project was designed by Michelle Lopez from Hypernoodle and is just perfect for people on the go.  My mini I-Pad with keyboard fits perfectly inside.

Then, there’s the adorable Elevation Pillow.  The pattern was designed by Kristy Daum.  I just love how this pillow looks.  You can even use one of our fleece to make the back of the pillow to add more softness.  I remember that my son’s fourth grade teacher absolutely loved horses, this would have been a perfect gift at the end of the school year.

How about you? Which one would you make and for whom?

Let us know and happy sewing!

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend and that you were able to get some time to craft or sew.

On to our Moody Monday!

On Sundays, I try to get my kids out of the city for a hike in the woods.  Yesterday we traded the hike for a meal in a Sugar Shack.  After the meal our kids were begging us to go home to their electronics, but as we were walking on the premises, we noticed that they offered horseback rides.  It was quite a surprise to see my kids mesmerized by these gracious animals.  It didn’t take too much convincing to get them to go for their very first ride.  When they got back, I noticed that the horse had a calming effect and I finally realized why so many people love horses.

This is why I have chosen to feature our Equestrian collection by our in house design Studio on our Moody Monday blog. Horse lovers will definitely want to get their hands on this collection to make crisp cotton shirts and kerchiefs.  And perhaps a tote or quilt?

Be sure to check out the full collection of Equestrian in your local quilt shop.  Click here to find the one nearest your home.

Let us know what you think of the collection and what you would make with it!  We would love to see what you have made so send us a picture for our Fan Friday blog!

Happy Sewing!
